Sample Book Insights:

#1 Some workers, like Jorge Porras, were not paid for the hours they worked. When they complained, their employer fired them.

#2 Laura Fox, an elementary school music teacher in Phoenix, Arizona, was having a hard time making ends meet. She took a twenty-hour-a-week job at McDonald’s.

#3 Something is fundamentally wrong in the way many American employers treat their workers. Too often, they fail to show workers basic respect, and they fail to heed workers’ most fundamental concerns.

#4 American workers have been frustrated with their stagnant wages and shuttered factories, and this was a major reason behind Trump’s victory in the 2016 election. Trump has continued to undermine labor unions and workers’ rights.
